When I was 17, I weighed 155 pounds. After 5 children and 3 marriages, I was up to 262 pounds on January 7, 2008, which was my highest weight ever. My joints hurt everytime I move and I get out of breathe real easy. I know that all this is caused by my weight. At least, I can say, thank goodness, that I do not have any health issues except my weight. Once I get my weight down, I know that I will feel so much better both physically and mentally. Staying motivated to do so is the hardest ...

Staying motivated to do so is the hardest part of losing weight but I know I can do it.

My Goals:
My goals are to be able to walk 2 miles without being out of breath and to be able to watch my grandchildren and great grandson grow up.

My Program:
Following a exercise program that fits into my schedule Tracking my food that I eat, good and bad. Staying positive!!

Personal Information:
I am from New Hampshire where we have a small farm of miniature horses, 4 dogs and 1 cat. I work as a Transportation Safety Coordinator for a major natural food warehouse and was formerly a truck driver. I grew up mainly on a dairy farm in Vermont and worked on various horse farms as a groom.

Other Information:
I love NASCAR, horses of any breed, living in the country, and just enjoying nature.

Thank you for adding me as a friend....I reciprocated and added you as mine. I hope you are on your way to your 2015 resolutions....as I am on my way to mine. I want so badly to get back down enough to get on a horse and be able to ride without fear this year that I am going to hurt myself. I have many horses to chose from but my weight had added up since I have been off trying to recover from a car accident and surgeries. I am doing better now but not 100%. Unfortunately I don't think I will ever get back the complete use of my legs and foot....but it is working so I guess I should be grateful for that.

I miss my riding days.....I love the fact that you can cart your minis. How cool is that.
